Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The Demon King's Troublesome Friends

In the end, Luo Qi had to properly correct Ji'en's misunderstanding. After all, making a move on such a loli would make him look like a pervert!

And as a "normal person" with common sense, he knew how ridiculous it was to have a harem.

Although very few countries in the world practice monogamy — because compared to the golden age of this planet's population, even after more than 700 years of recovery, it's still less than a tenth of what it was — most normal people still consciously stick to one-on-one relationships.

Because women in this world are terrifying. As magic becomes more common among ordinary people, couples these days can argue and end up destroying an entire building. People see news on their phones every day: "Couple fights, sets fire to entire apartment building. The fire has been put out, no casualties reported."

So, having a few girlfriends just for fun is highly likely to get you killed. In this world, there are too many ways to make someone disappear without a trace, and even the police would struggle to catch the culprit.

No doubt about it! Having a harem in this world is dangerous!

Even for him, the heir to the Demon King bloodline, he just wants to find a normal, gentle girl as a girlfriend. Having a harem is exhausting! Juggling relationships every day, moving between women — it's not as fun as it sounds. His sister is a living example! It's already so troublesome, just imagine doubling or tripling it!

Luo Qi felt like he might just be driven insane by this.

Of course, just as he said before, he made it clear to Ji'en that once all five dragons had gathered, he would personally send them back. He would also discuss the future of their race with them. Personally, he leaned towards having them reintegrate into society peacefully.

With their magical powers, the dragons could bring about a revolutionary change in global magical technology.

So after a little commotion, his household had gained an all-purpose loli dragon maid!

The next day, as Luo Qi stepped into the classroom, the whole class was buzzing with excitement.

"Have you heard? There's a new transfer student!"

"A transfer student at this time? The midterms are coming up soon."

"Hey, hey! Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Hope it's a girl! There are too few pretty girls in this class!"

From the conversations around him, it seemed like a transfer student was coming.

Honestly, the term "transfer student" was somewhat unfamiliar to most normal students. After all, this wasn't a novel or anime where transfer students were common, and they all came with some outstanding quality. At least, during his middle school days, there wasn't a single transfer student! Even if there was, they were from other classes, and they were pretty normal. No one had any extraordinary backstory.

In short, thinking that transfer students were all full of stories was just a symptom of chuunibyou, from watching too many anime!

But... this time was a little unusual. However, Luo Qi didn't yet connect it with yesterday's commotion.

"Breaking news! It's a girl!" Benjamin walked in from outside, excitedly saying.

"A girl!?"

"Long live!!"

"She's beautiful, right!? Class president, quick, tell us more!"

As soon as the class heard that the new transfer student was a girl, the boys instantly erupted in excitement. Many had love-struck expressions, as if already fantasizing about what was to come.

No wonder! They were teenage boys! Their imaginations were wild.

"Well... I only saw her back, but there seem to be two really powerful people with her. This girl seems to be someone important! I think she's worth the challenge," Benjamin said seriously.

"Hey, hey... President, stop messing around! She's a girl! Are you really going to do something?"

"Her back was nice? She's not one of those 'back killers', right?"

"Let's go, let's investigate further!"

For a moment, the boys in the class had various expressions: curiosity, hesitation, indecisiveness. Even if the new student was a girl, no one would want a dinosaur-like girl in the class.

"Ahh! It's Kaka! Ahhh~" Before the boys could set out to investigate, they heard a chorus of high-pitched screams from the hallway.

"Uh… that guy actually came to school?"

"How long has it been since he came?"

"Ahhh… this guy is doing this on purpose, right? He specifically waits for the female transfer students to show up? Does he have intel?"

In the blink of an eye, most of the boys in the class looked displeased.

As they were talking, a group of girls gathered around a handsome young man who appeared outside the classroom door.

Karls Bruka John King Deron — a recently risen idol in the country, who became famous for his handsome looks and excellent acting skills. Unlike other young idols, he shot to fame at rocket speed.

However, many were surprised that this rising idol had originally been a high school student at this very ordinary public school.

Of course, Luo Qi had to clarify that this was just a very, very ordinary school, not some story where it gathers all the amazing characters.

Karls, or now known as Kaka, was actually one of Luo Qi's middle school classmates, a troublesome friend.

This guy had a history of being a hardcore otaku and a chuunibyou back in middle school. Apart from being good-looking, he had basically no other redeeming qualities... and his sudden rise to fame was purely by chance. Luo Qi himself was quite surprised by it.

At first, this guy just wanted to buy a rare limited edition figure, so he applied for a magazine ad shoot. By some stroke of luck, he got noticed by a powerful talent scout, and the next thing he knew, he was on his way to becoming an idol and skyrocketing to fame.

So when this guy was venting to Luo Qi, Dylan, and Benjamin, he was all kinds of confused, but now it seemed like nothing could stop his rise. Most of the girls at school were now his hardcore fans. In fact, there was no fan club for any of the school's female beauties, but there was one for him. Because of that, many girls had transferred to their school over the past few months.

"Heh, sorry everyone, I'm here! I hope you'll give me some personal space," Karls said with a smile at the door, then gracefully made his way through the girls and sat behind Luo Lin.

"I say... Luo Qi, looks like a transfer student is finally coming to our class?" After sitting down, Karls immediately asked Luo Qi.

"I just came too... not sure, do you know something?" Luo Qi replied calmly. Because of this guy, the school was reluctant to send any transfer students to their class, seemingly afraid of some "riot."

But this time, it was a pleasant surprise.

"Of course I don't know. I've been filming recently, and my bones almost fell apart. How could I have time for this? I just heard on the road that there's a very pretty transfer student today," Karls said helplessly.

"What? Pretty? Now I'm relieved!" As soon as the boys heard this, they immediately sighed in relief, as if the girl was already theirs.

Of course, their actions naturally upset the girls in the class.

But these immature boys didn't care. One by one, they rushed out, heading straight for the office, seemingly hoping to catch a glimpse of the beautiful girl.

Although... they probably only beat Luo Qi's calm self by about ten minutes.

And the result? Because too many people went, they were immediately kicked out by the other teachers in the office. Still, it gave the girls something to complain about and further proved how unreliable the boys were.
